Primary 1 learning this term

[Hollysweekingdom]

What should Primary 1 aged kids be able to do by the end of this term to be 'on track' in terms of reading, writing and numbers? I know all kids are different but just to get an idea, what are kids this age able to do generally? My DC is writing and recognising letters and numbers to 20 (with some being backwards etc), reading some CVC words and words they are to memorise. Adding and subtracting not really 'got' yet. School said number work was below baseline but not sure what the baseline is! Just wondered what the norm is by this stage for the key learning. Thanks :)

Do you not have a term by term curriculum email or PowerPoint slide? School should have this. You clearly need to ask them what their baseline is and for more detail on their concerns.

Ime there’s usually a tiredness hit at this time and you’ll likely see an improvement in January.

My ‘on track’ children know all their sounds, blend confidently without sounding out, can read about 10/20 tricky words and can put that together to write 2 short sentences and read a 10-12 page book.

For numeracy, I’d be looking for able to sequence 0-20 and add using fingers and counters to 10.

How can they go from not reading to reading a 10-12 page book and writing sentences in a term a 3/4?

The magic of phonics! Children who are ready can fly. I never get over the wonder of it myself

We are talking about very short sentences on each page of the book, scattered with some common/tricky words (e.g. said, little, you). In writing, words should be readable, but can be spelled wrong (e.g. a very bright child in my class was writing today about Santa on top of a hus [house].
